Hi Mike, I will take 5 of those tags. I bought a couple more cars.

I might have some of that trim kicking around. what kind of lengths do you need. I did a 1933 KA Convertible Coupe about 12 years ago.

Clive is a Great man I was able to meet and visit with him two years ago in Scottsdale. I got the impression that he would write the car into his books and when the book sold use that money to buy the car in the book. Everyone has a different angle to finance their cars.

also try 40-0095-65
You can also buy the fabric to cover it as would be correct for a 1933 Lincoln. Is your car a KA?

Steele Rubber carries it. same profile used on Packards. There website lists it incorrectly. try part number 70-0251-65

Tried all that. The car is now on the lift with the clutch and flywheel removed. Having the clutch relined and already have the flywheel resurfaced. Thanks for all the advice.
Some times only fixing the problem will fix your problem.

@Buffalowed BillThere was some local interest in the collection. I Met with Jim on more than once. I also know that there was a second person talking to him other than me. I was in the postion to take the entire collection as is where is. He had about 12 to 15 cars in various stages of dissassembly or reassembly. about 113 to 120 cars in total.. @pontiac1953 I find it interesting how people are very quick to question the lack of buyers. Remeber that the seller was a second or third generation car dealer. He is a very schrewd business man. If i sent you a list of all the cars on the list and placed the asking price number next to them you might have a clearer understanding. The Ratsoy collection was NOT a fire sale. Also remember that the concept of value is subjective. For instance in BC every one that is local or has lived here a long time is complaining about property cost unless they are selling. But buyers are coming from overseas that do not have a cash flow problem and see our high prices as a bargin. The same was this collection. the oportunity to lump sum a large instant collection was percieved as a value that most local people could not visualize. I could take the same asking price and put togeather a larger collection with a higher quality of car both in rarity of models and condition.

For those of you that know Ed you would probably be shocked but he did something really really smart yesterday. On the parade route back to the trailer parking there is a steep incline with a sharp turn hard left. Much like the hill on the PB tour where everyone dies. This hill was worse because you could only see the car in front of you for maybe the first 50%. The road is 1 car wide. There was a super nice Packard (I really want one) running in front of him. Ed stopped 50 feet before the start of the hill waiting to catch a glimpse of the Packard off on the left after it cleared the hill. It never did and came rolling back down the hill in front of him. When he got to level ground the vacum tank started working and the car started. This time he really gunned it up the hill and made it.
One thing I've learned from watching these tours is that when you see a sharp hill you need to give plenty of distance between cars and then take the hill like it is a race.
I am sure the real reason that @edinmass waited because he mistook the brake for the clutch again and it momentarly confused him. He does not seem to get the opertunity to drive nice big cars very much since he moved to Florida to retire and eat at the early bird buffet"s. The pictures look great @alsancle Is that Tom's 903?

I spoke at length with the owner/ builder at Monterey this last August. The level of detail and work gone into this car to make it period correct and accurate to the photos was outstanding. A great car

Which one? I love the steam car but I have a feeling it is going to require quite a bit of engineering work so that you don't blow yourself up.
Coup eh

SSSHHHHHH! phone call made.

Hi @Billorn, I had posted this car for sale back in april on the main forum buy and sell. So it may be this car you are rembering. Tom Lester was a very well known engine builder that when he was done had a motor that ran smother and put out more power than when the factory Built them. This particular car has held up extremly well as is evident when you view it and drive it.

I currently own a 36 foot Wells Cargo and a 38 foot Pace. They are both enclosed gooseneck trailers. The wells cargo is a 2002 year and the Pace is a 2007. I custom ordered the pace to be exactly to my specifications. Over height and custom tie downs with particular options. I was wanting to replace the Pace with a new trailer as I was wearing it out. The Pace is a steel frame with a scoreless exterior. Never had a problem with it. My new trailer I currently have a order is a all aluminum Intech trailer. I looked for three years at big shows, events, and auctions at trailer vendors and sales guys. The Intech is the best built trailer I could find for the dollar. New trailer is a 44 foot gooseneck enclosed with a 96 inch door and head height inside. Custom tie downs, in floor winch. The works.
What I am trying to say is buy exactly what you want, pay a little extra to get the best quality you can. You will never regret it.

It would appear that I am also in need of a rear bumper iron for this car. Not the chrome bumpers themselves but the main iron that supports them.
The one we have has been bent and straightened many times and has some cracks and waves that will be impossible to get rid of.
